i am requesting that the features retire this song. i feel it has seen it's day.

Hmmmm. I don't know. The crowd always seems to enjoy it. They always sing along enthusiastically with the ya da da das and the 'hey! hey!hey!' part. They'd probably disappoint a lot of people by not playing it. I could go either way.

they should retire it......and bring back burma and temporary blues.

i would be ALL FOR the retirement of thursday.
but i agree, the crowd seems to love it.
meh... it's worn out its welcome in my heart.

It dosen't need to be retired, just not played every show.

its the staple of the show! like when the pumpkins ended most of thier shows with silverfuck or when aerosmiths ends the show with train kept a rolling or bb king opening every show with let the good times roll.......its not a features show without it!!!!!

long live thursday!

I still love Thursday, but I definitely think it would be come a bit more of a treat if they would only play it at maaybe one out of every three shows or something.

I like it. I think it's a staple. the only good reaosn for them to quit playing it is if they are just sick of it (which they probably are) otherwise, I like it, the audience likes it, right on.

I am all about keeping Thursday in the shows, at least for a little bit longer. Like the others have said, its a staple. BUT, again, its a good point about if they are getting tired of playing it or not. If they are, then we should say good-bye to them. I could go either way on this one.

Is 'Burma' dead? Has anyone heard it recently? I've always liked it; it's so different from any other Features song.

I think as a song Thursday is a great closer, but it usually ends up being more of a disappointment when it starts because it signifies the end of the show. I agree that it should be used more as a treat to the audience. Maybe it could signify a good show, if the band has enjoyed the evening and the crowd they could play it, kind of a thank you to the audience.

thursday should be only played on thursday.


ever noticed. no fun in funneral.

I'd be sad if they stopped playing 'Thursday.' It's the only song I look forward to.

Yeah they've got to keep Thursday. Think of the fools who don't come to every show. They rely on 'Thursday' to reassure them that all is well with rock music. Besides, the band does seem to improvise on it some.. I only moved here in January, but since then I've seen 'Thursday' with and (I think) without whistling, with a melodica, and speed way up at the end.

I hope you are being funny. I usually look forwards to buffalo head, design, gsrnr, or action. definitely not thursday.

I would definately like to see a return of the melodica.

thursday could be replaced with...star light star bright...i can't remember the correct name. i haven't heard that song in forever and it is similar to thursday in the way the audience reacts and sings along.

Paid To Think....(Star Light, Star Bright, Oh how I wish tonight, somebody would just pay me to think)

paid to think needs to be played more often...i'm glad to see circus is getting played more too....

play the song just not at the end of every set mix up the placement I think it would be cool if they pulled it off as an opening song

I like Paid To Think, but if that replaced Thursday as the 'staple' it would be just as or possibly more annoying.

If they're going to end on some kind of anthem rock song, then the only other I think they have in their catalog is GSRnR, and I'm sure many of you will disagree, but I really don't care for that song.

'Paid to Think' and others don't have that strength of ending on something that is an anthem.

The good thing about Thursday is that it signals the end or near end of the show, does leave room for changes each time it's played (my favorite part is how Rollum changes up the drums during the last 'change my walk and my talk and my hair'), and it leaves a strong impression on first timers with a very climactic ending (I also like the vocal end that Roger used to put on it).

How can you not like GSRnR?

Woooooooo!

thursday can stay or go. i'd just like to know whose idea it was to close every show with it forever.

I've been lurking for a few months now but I felt the urge to respond to this. It seems the Features are getting more new fans every day. (i've only been a fan for about a year) Thursday is not worn out on them (the new fan) yet. It's probably the most climactic song, therefore a good closer. They should probably ride that out until they really hit it big. Just because the select few here are tired of it doesn't mean they should call it quits on the song. Imagine how old it must be to them. The fact that they can still play it with energy ought to be proof enough that they should continue playing it.

ahhh, what do i know? just a dumb opinion

Maybe they should really change it up by doing some gimmicks for it...

one night do a country version
I'd love to see and hear Matt Pelham rap

see 5/2/02 boro show as to why this song should not be retired

fun as hell

No rapping. Ever.


Evvvver.

Does Count Bass D still live in M'boro? He could rap on Thursday...

i saw count bass d at the grocery store this week. we were both buying apples.

I was afraid you were going to say, 'I saw Count Bass D at the grocery store this week. He was working as a bag boy.' I've been wondering what ever became of him.

Yeah, then the Count would be almost as much of a failure in life as you are, Tom.

I consider working at Bi-Lo to be much more dignified than trying to be a harcore rapper from Murfreesboro.

Count Bass D is hardcore rap? That isn't the label I would give him. Oh yeah, he has a new album out...

Tom also calls the Who hardcore rap, so pay no attention to him.
